Anybody who thinks a holter monitor is an ER procedure please stand up now.
When I think of ERs, I think of emergency. When I think of ER, I think if they don't get help they will be severely compromised or die. So, what life threatening ailment is a holter monitor going to benefit.
And, when a holter is done on a Friday, it will not be read until Monday anyway.
So, I say, anyone who thinks a Holter Monitor is an ER procedure, please rise.
Anyone.
Definitely not an emergency.
ReplyDeleteWas the pt admitted until for observation until the results could be read and given PRN albuterol for chest pain?
